Meet The Manager
Lisa Hughes is Care Home Manager at Ardenlea Grove Care Home.
I have previously worked in hospitals all over the UK - across A&E, medical and surgical wards. I started working in care homes during nurse training and loved working in a homely environment where you build relationships as it's like your extended family.
I enjoy working here because of the residents, my team and the ability to make a difference to a family.
I am married with two children. In my spare time, I love watching rugby, going to the gym and being creative. I love the outdoors! Surfing, skiing and climbing are a huge passion for me.
Ardenlea Grove welcomes those with a range of care needs including residential, nursing and specialist dementia care, whether for long or short stays or for respite care.
We think it’s important to know our residents well so we can deliver truly personalised care. By spending time listening to residents and their families, we learn about their lives, interests, and the really important things, like how they like their tea.
Residents can relax in one of our lounges or spend some quiet time in our safe, enclosed garden. The choice is always theirs.
